Here is my 2 cents worth. I love 'em both! Man there are some nice collections on here. EEGADS! (not a tuning)

I have ordered another piece of aluminum - it should be here next week. When I get it back from the water jet cutters I will post a picture.
I have played a Jb fry pan years ago and found that the intonation was deficient. Just look at the nut and bridge construction. Using a Keyhead with rollers, sperzels, and a well crafted bridge like I did are far superior. Those original tuning keys on the Frypan did not stay in tune too well and cannot compare to sperzels.
Mine is made from extruded aircraft aluminum which has no pits, air holes or defects as you get with a sand casting, furthermore the appearance is far superior looking, and sounding especially with an Alumitone tone bar pickup from Lace.
I think that Jb frypans are really much overrated and can be improved on. I must admit that I do really like their shape and their 22 1/2" scale. That's why I copied the shape and the scale.
I can't wait to get this next one assembled as it is going to be a keeper... Not for sale even for $2000
